Hi, I have had trigeminal neuralgia which would impact me every few days or so. It was so bad, I couldn’t eat or sleep but just sit it out for several hours until it subsided. This had been building up since I was a teenager and every year it got worse and worse – nothing helped, no painkillers or analgesics, right into my thirties.
Then about 25 years ago, I stumbled on an herbal book that said celery juice would get rid of it, so every time it came on, I would juice some celery to drink. It would be numbingly bitter, but even as I was swallowing the stuff, the pain was already subsiding. Then one cold midnight, I started to get the pain again, but all the stores were closed and I was out of celery. My mother found one tiny stalk of Chinese celery (about a few inches tall) still buried under the snow in our garden. Managed to get a couple of mouthfuls of juice – exceedingly bitter, but it still did the trick!
Now, I don’t juice any more but always make sure I have celery in my fridge. As long as I eat about one or two stalks a week, I don’t suffer the neuralgia any more. I guess there’s something in the celery that my body is lacking and as long as I have celery in my regular diet, I don’t get neuralgia!
Don’t know if this can help your client?
